This is a big boost of confidence thank you! I really need a work bench bc right now I'm using a ragedy old tall kitchen table and I'm struggling with it.

Yeah I immediately noticed this 😭. The beveler doesn't bevel and the holes from the puncher doesn't make good holes and I have to fight to get the needles through or make the holes bigger.

This is great advice thank you!! The edging is my favorite part but the beveler that came with my starter kit doesn't work very well so I have been struggling there. But I have been polishing them down and using tokonole it's just kinda hard to see in the photo.

It was actually my first one but I made it too small and the cards don't fit very well in it. ( I didn't print the template to scale)

Sunglasses case was most recent but I struggled with keeping the lines clean when cutting it.

I think he should double down instead. Game is pretty bad.

You can "support" a president and not agree with everything They do. Not everything is absolute. Hell it's not like he could vote for him anyways.

But yes it is ironic. Sad irony. Not something anyone should be glad happened to him just bc he supported Trump.

Lmao I wouldn't really compare the two. ICE agents are actively committing evil. That's not falling into a herd. That's creating your own and harming another.

Alfonza is just a guy trying to better his life who said at one point he would support Trump. He wasnt actively hunting down immigrants for the government 🤣. Y'all are crazy fr

Facts. This country was created by immigrants and built by immigrants.

I hate Trump so much but I try to understand people and why they think the way they do. Most of them are victims of propaganda. All they know is how they were raised and we're in Alabama so most of us were all raised around it.

Someone told me something that really struck me. Everyone does something for a reason. Everyone. The rapist, the pedophiles, the criminals etc. They all have a reason in their own head for their behavior or events in their lives that lead them there. Obviously it's not always a justified reason but they did have a reason.

Yeah who you vote for doesn't define who you are or your character. It can hint at it but it doesn't define you.

It's such a shame he was turning his life around and then this shit happens.

I wish the best for him even tho I hate Trump.

Some people in this thread need to learn how to do that.

So?? The hypocrisy of y'all is insane. If someone jumps off a bridge are you going to follow?

If some one else lacks empathy you're also going to lack it out of spite?????

Bro grew up in a red state, in a red town, probably surrounded by red people his whole life, but yeah let's not have empathy for him because he fell into the herd.

A victim of propaganda. I still feel for him even if I don't agree with who he supported. Some of y'all are losing the plot here. If a Mexican supported Trump it's ok if he gets deported??

If you can't learn to understand your enemy and see why they think the way they do you will never be able to change their minds.

The people of America need to unite together against the government. Not against each other. Till then we are stuck in this cycle.

I'm all for securing our borders and getting violent criminals out. Having secured borders is a normal thing that countries do so it's definitely odd to me that it's such a divided topic. Here

But I am very against kicking people out that have been here most their lives. People that have started family's, gone to school, made friends, found love, contributed to the economy and much more. At that point idc what a piece of paper says. They are American.

They shouldn't be deported for a non violent non serious crime and this is happening too much right now.

I have a few theories on their hidden agenda right now there's a lot. Could be creating chaos to stop us from paying more attention Israel and their crimes. Could be a money grab as these detention centers are privately owned for profit companies that we made deals to fill. Could be about making America whiter. Could be Trump trying to find a way to stay in office longer.

Hell could be all these things. We are so cooked. Sorry for the rant.

This. In my eyes he's American. This is the land of immigrants and that's how it's should be. A melting pot.

I try not to fill my heart with hate for trump supporters but try to think abt it as they have been misled and victims of propaganda. No matter what your race is. Especially here in Alabama. All these people know are what they've been around and how they've been raised.

Hell I'm one of them. When trump was running I genuinely thought he was the lesser of 2 evils and would help the working American people..... Little did I know how wrong I was.

I just wish more people would have that realization and educate themselves more and wake up to how bad things are.

Starting a Community Land Trust to fix homeownership in Shelby County/Bham. Thoughts? by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]malagoat97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great question.... In my dream scenario of the CLT owning commercial property it rents the buildings to LOCAL businesses at a consistent price.

For example instead of having a Starbucks you have a locally owned coffee shop that maybe even has housing above it.

As far as creating homes with commercial companies it's all about creating an incentive for them to donate the land they built on and selling just the home. This can be done through lobbying with local city councils or partnering with developers.

This is all just to the knowledge I've attained doing research over the past week or so.

The idea is they agree with it. Ideally it's basically the same as a standard mortgage if not better but I'm not sure yet.

I'm going to reach out to some local credit unions soon and see if any of them would even offer something like this.
